This fantasy adventure movie has it all - CGI eye candy, boy/girl eye candy, epic epicness, super-powered higher beings near impossible to defeat, gorgeous cinematography, effective 3D and some good family friendly chuckles. I would rank it there with Star Wars Episode 6, and indeed the storyline and involved parties are somewhat similar to what happened there (good/bad/natives). This movie was one expensive mother and you can see every cent of it. Even the 3D is great, without garish in-your-face effects it just adds another dimension to a dream made reality by Disney's wizards. I really wish them all the best because I'd love to see more of the books come to life, but alas, the omens are not good. Then again, Disney movies traditionally have very strong DVD sales so there's some hope. It's an experience you just cannot reproduce in the same way at home, though, so go see it now!
